Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Baby W

Not talking about the new blog ever again. It will be up when it is up, and that is last word I will say on it, promise. The lovely Tracy, who is making it for me, will put a re-direct on here, so hopefully you will be magically transported there when you come here for a visit.
So, moving along, here is the gorgeous, not very premmie-looking Baby W, whose delightful parents (I photographed their wedding last October....speaking of moving right along!!) assured me he was a very sleepy baby. Ahem, 3 and a half hours we waited for him to sleep, and he nodded off for about 20 seconds during that time. I actually have heaps of photos of him with one eye closed, and the other open keeping an eye on the lady with the noisy camera. Anyway, here are a few I have processed tonight, and more to come tomorrow. Isn't he divine (cluck, cluck, as usual).

Ta Da....

My new website is (finally) live (although some fine tuning is still required) if you haven't seen please use the link at the lower right hand side of the page and have a look!!
And the new blog is still a day or two away (which I know I said about 1 month ago, but I think it is really really true this time). I have been very busy with newborns lately, and am now taking on newborn clients. Check out the gallery on the new website!

Bookings are now available from March onwards, so please contact me to organise your sitting. I generally book out about 6 weeks ahead, so keep this in mind and don't wait until the last minute!

Finally, two images from a recent newborn shoot....ahem....my new niece Mietta Neva (I am desperate to post more images, but will control myself)

Sneak Peak - Family M

What a shame to have to show this gorgeous sneak peek on the old blog....sigh....well the new blog is now, for technical reasons which are all a bit beyond me quite frankly (as are many things to do with modern day life), awaiting the release of the new website. Which is being designed by, wait for it, myself. Soooo, while the first two pages are done, I am as usual moving with the speed of several startled turtles. Clear as mud? Good, suffice to say, it's all still probably a week away, during which time I am actually going to have a day off (GASP) and re-introduce myself to my family. And then....segue back to the M family, I will re-post these guys on the new blog, because these mean little pictures just does not do this family justice. Little Master A really warmed up towards the end of the shoot, and pulled some really spectacular faces, and Big Brother L kept me and his parents busy running around for a really fun hour at the park. I love the photo of the boys together here, makes me think 'group hug' and SQUEEZE. Ah, siblings. And, how gorgeous are their mum and dad...hello? I couldn't resist a couple of shots on them on their own (why is it that mums and dads often don't want themselves photographed - are they so worn out by the wedding day photography that they are turned off the experience for life?), and I think they look like a couple still truly in love.
Thanks guys, and hope you enjoy the sneak preview....

Plan B Section 2

Well, I have narrowed this shoot down to a tidy 96 images. Hmmmm. This beautiful family, who are also good friends; are not only photogenic, warm and happy, they are also lots of fun. We spent a wonderful morning together at Montsalvat, in Eltham. The star of this show is Miss L (sorry guys, but am sure this will not be news to you); I am sure you can see why...
P.S. Some of this images are not final edits, might be some fine tuning in the detail :-)

Plan B.....

....however, is to change my mind (it is a woman's prerogative, after all) and post two more sneak previews here. Due to technical 'issues', in my best Kath voice. First is a set of newborn twins Miss S and Mstr S, totally divine, I can still smell them (cluck cluck). Enjoy; and thanks so much Ames for letting me practice on them, especially when you were tired (as would any one be with a set of twins and two other kids under 4!!!!!) AND the bubs weren't well. I hope it was worth it :-)

Moving on from blogspot to.....

Sometime in the next week (all things going well) I will be launching a new nicer blog, with lovely big photographs that you don't need a magnifying glass to see, at www.sarahblackphotography.com.au/blog
I am now going to hold over all current sneak peeks until this is ready(including a maternity, a beautiful family shoot at Montsalvat, an extremely hip and cool park shoot with a small cowboy and his even smaller indian friend, and the newborn twins I am off to photography today (my first twins...yay!). And if I am doing really well I will also manage the Black Family Christmas Card shoot sometime this weekend and post that too. Just to give everyone a nice hearty laugh. So please come check me out over at the new address soon!
